| Another question answered. Alas, that such a death should have taken Imrahil's bride; and at least Eomer and she are beginning to make friends and woo properly. A most wise and controlled young man he is. | |

| Very wise here, is young Eomer. How can Lothiriel resist him? Sensitive, understanding and providing a rather appealing shoulder to weep on! She might well overcome her nerves yet! Author Reply: I am sure she will!LBJ | |

| Eomer is absolutely spot on perfect in this. And I love Lothiriel's courage in turning down his offer to wait--very well done! Author Reply: Courage, eh! LBJ | |

| I really enjoyed this whole interlude. I think it is realistic that Eomer wouldn't want to drag a nervous new wife straight into an intimacies she wasn't ready for and I can imagine Lothiriel refusing to avoid holding up her end of the relationship. You so good at keeping everyone in character in every situation. And I am glad that they have talked a bit about more important stuff than the weather too. Interesting to finally find out what happened to Lothiriel's mother and what made her so eager to leave Dol Amroth. My initial reaction to her tears was that she wouldn't have cried in front of Eomer but then I actually thought about it and realized that after a stressful week, a tiring day, and then an emotionally frought evening (to say nothing of the realization that today is REALLY the first day of the rest of her life) Lothiriel was likely to break down to a sympathetic listener - especially one who was close, kind, and receptive. Can't wait for Chapter 9! I noticed that you mentioned that this chapter was already written. Have you written the entire story already? If that's the case, I think it shows in the high quality of the writing and the tight and realistic plot. Planning ahead makes for a good, cohesive story. Though you have to have talent for writing a story to begin with of course and that shows too! Author Reply: Hi, Thanks for that. I rather thought that she had been keeping herself very tightly controlled, as you say - with all the stress of the week - and that when he was so nice to her and then asked about her mother - it poured out. I always know where my stories are going and always have the last chapter in my mind. I wrote six chapters before I started posting, and am now up to C11. However - there were about six chapters originaly - I seem to be writing in more detail than I used to. LBJ | |
